  • PRS positioning reference signal
  • PRS configuration information which may include PRS duration, bandwidth, and other information.
  • both intra-frequency and inter-frequency RSTD measurement may be supported.
  • a UE needs a measurement gap to do the RSTD measurement.
  • the serving cell since the positioning operation is triggered by a location server, the serving cell may not be aware that UE is about to perform OTDOA measurement. Therefore, the UE needs to inform its serving cell and request measurement gaps as well, if the target cell is on a different carrier frequency.
  • the UE may provide the PRS location information to its serving cell as shown in the example below:
  • EUTRA-RSTD-Info :: SEQUENCE ⁇
  • the PRS positioning occasion information is received from upper layers.
  • the UE can take into account any additional time required by the UE to start PRS measurements on the other carrier when it does this mapping for determining the measPRS-Offset .
  • measPRS-Offset in prior systems has a granularity of lms, which may not be sufficiently accurate to allow a network to know which MG (measurement gap) pattern is the most suitable MG pattern for a given UE, particularly for future systems where more gap patterns are used for OTDOA measurements,
  • embodiments of the present disclosure can aid in a network configuring a more suitable MG pattern to avoid the waste of MG and increased system throughput illustrated in the MG configuration example shown in Figure 4.
  • embodiments of the present disclosure can help: a network to know the length of PRS; the network to use multiple MG patterns for RSTD measurement (e.g., MG with 3ms measurement gap length (MGL)); and a UE to indicate a more accurate PRS occasion offset to the network.
  • UE indicates the number of consecutive downlink subframes NPRS with positioning reference signals to network.
  • a PRS duration (in terms of number of consecutive downlink subframes NPRS) is not included in the signaling used for requesting measurement gap for an RSTD measurement. Since currently only an MG pattern with a 6ms MGL (measurement gap length) can be configured, the network could configure 6 MGL for the UE. However, in the future, more and more MG patterns can be configured for RSTD measurement, including the ones with MGL other than 6ms. In such cases, it is beneficial for the network to know the exact PRS duration.
  • the UE since the PRS duration is 2ms, the UE only needs MG pattern with 3ms MGL to cover the whole PRS duration, where 3ms consist of 2ms for PRS and lms for RF tuning and re-tuning. So the UE needs to indicate to its serving cell that the PRS duration is 2ms and then the serving cell can configure 3ms MGL for the UE.
  • the number of consecutive downlink subframes may be indicated via an enumerated variable (e.g., numDL-Frames) as shown in the examples below:
  • EUTRA-RSTD-InfoList SEQUENCE (SIZE ( 1..maxInterRAT-RSTD-Freq) ) OF EUTRA- RSTD-Info
  • EUTRA-RSTD-Info SEQUENCE ⁇
  • numDL-Frames specifies the number of consecutive downlink subframes with positioning reference signals. Enumerated values define 1, 2, 4, or 6 consecutive downlink subframes.
  • the value sf-add indicates that NPRS is provided in the field add-numDL- Frames.
  • the number of consecutive downlink subframes could also be indicated using an integer variable as shown in the examples below:
  • EUTRA-RSTD-InfoList SEQUENCE (SIZE ( 1..maxInterRAT-RSTD-Freq) ) OF EUTRA- RSTD-Info
  • EUTRA-RSTD-Info SEQUENCE ⁇
  • PRSduration specifies the number of consecutive downlink subframes NPRS with positioning reference signals. Integer values define 1, 2, ... or 160 consecutive downlink subframes.
  • Embodiment 2 when requesting measurement gap for performing RSTD measurements towards E-UTRA, UE indicates more accurate gap offset.
  • measPRS-Offset is only provided when a UE is requesting MG from its serving cell for RSTD measurement.
  • measPRS-Offset only has a granularity of lms (measPRS-Offset INTEGER (0..39)), which is not sufficiently accurate as described previously.
  • a conservative BS may configure 5ms MGL for the UE, so that the measurement gap can cover subframe #2 ⁇ #6 (subframe #2 and #6 for RF tuning and re-tuning, #3 ⁇ #6 for PRS).
